    The hide attribute on the column object can be read to see the current status of a column and if it is hidden or not, but it currently it isn't writable to allow changing its state. Using the Smartsheet API you can see the current status of columns and if they are hidden or not, but you aren't able to adjust the value to hide or unhide columns. That would need to be done manually in Smartsheet in your browser.

    You might check out the Smartsheet API documentation. There are examples for updating columns.

    https://smartsheet-platform.github.io/api-docs/?csharp#update-column

    Just update the column attribute 'hidden' to False. I'm not into c#. But see the screenshot for Python. The documentation has a similar example for c#.

@Neil Watson<\/a> You should be able to use the LOWER function for evaluation but still output the version that includes caps.<\/p>

=IFERROR(INDEX(DISTINCT(LOWER(<\/strong>COLLECT(.....................))<\/strong>), 1), \"//www.santa-greenland.com/community/discussion/55096/\")<\/p>

I haven't tested it yet, but I feel like it should work.<\/p>"},{"commentID":386435,"body":"

Right. There are already a number of posts here in the community detailing how to pull a distinct or unique list from another sheet via formula. It usually involves the formula above without the LOWER function. The number 1 would output the first distinct value. Changing that to a 2 will output the second distinct value, so on and so forth. I usually use a helper column with the numbers manually entered so I can apply it as a column formula.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":320,"name":"API & Developers","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/api-developers","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[{"tagID":369,"urlcode":"bridge-by-smartsheet","name":"Bridge"}]},{"discussionID":107674,"type":"question","name":"API PUT and Body help for Cell link from a cell in sheet \"a\" to sheet \"b\"","excerpt":"I am having trouble linking a cell from sheet a to b.

Hey @Carlo Rodriguez<\/a> <\/p>

This is how I've successfully added a cell-link using the API:<\/p>
